In today's complex and rapidly evolving industries, ensuring safety is paramount. The ability to effectively manage and demonstrate safety is crucial for organizations across a wide range of sectors, including aviation, nuclear, rail, and healthcare. "Safety Cases and Safety Reports" is a comprehensive guide that provides a roadmap for creating robust and persuasive safety arguments.

Understanding Safety Cases and Reports

A safety case is a structured document that presents a compelling argument for the safety of a system or activity. It provides evidence and reasoning to support the claim that the system is safe and meets its safety requirements. A safety report, on the other hand, is a more descriptive document that describes the safety management system, hazards, risks, and controls within a particular context or operation.
